    The document compares and contrasts the characters of Juliet and Romeo from William Shakespeare's play to their depictions in the 1996 film version by Baz Luhrmann. It argues that in the original play, Juliet is portrayed as more intelligent, practical, and in control of the relationship than the cliched and rehearsed Romeo. However, in the modernized film, both characters are shown as equally mature and realizing their love for each other spontaneously at the aquarium, without the deceptions around tricking the nurse found in the original play text.
